A repair cafe is an event where participants can bring their broken electronics and small appliances, and engage in the process of fixing them. We will provide tools, materials, and most importantly knowledgeable volunteers, available to assist in the repair effort. No former fix-it experience is necessary. All are welcome to participate; volunteers to help are also welcome.

For more information feel free to contact: theashevillemakers@gmail.com

Thanks to a generous donation from one of our members, we now have a new 3D printer – a Lulzbot TAZ 6. We have it set up with preset profiles for different materials, making it incredibly easy to use, and the print quality is great! Come take a quick class to learn to use the machine, and then see what you can create!

After almost 4 months of various issues between the developers and city that kept us from moving in, we are officially in! Come check out our new location at 207 Coxe Ave inside the new Refinery Creator Space. Regular open house & meeting every Tuesday from 7-9pm. Feel free to show up a bit early.

Hey look, the website is back up! We now have a new webhost, which should guarantee us 100% uptime. Sorry for the inconvenience of anyone trying to find it during the last week. It’s a bit bare at the moment, so expect some prettying up shortly.
